Description

Part historical document, part interpretive examination, this publication contains photographic documentation, previously published material and newly commissioned essays that explore individual works produced over the course of London artist Ron Benner's lengthy career. While many texts have been written on his work, this publication is the first comprehensive book to yoke together the dominant themes of activism, environmentalism and global politics that span the breadth of Benner's practice. This publication includes texts by: Ron Benner, Marcel Blouin, Dianne Bos, Joe Cummins, Len Findlay, Barbara Fischer, Mireya Folch-Serra, Gerald McMaster, Andy Patton, Adriana Premat, Scott Toguri McFarlane, Matthew Teitelbaum and Melanie Townsend.
